PROJECT DESCRIPTION:

The U.S. Corps of Engineers Baltimore District is seeking sources for a construction project entitled, Fishing Creek South Jetty Rehab and Maintenance Dredging.  This will be a firm-fixed price construction contract.  The place of performance is located at the Town of Chesapeake Beach, Calvert County, Maryland.  Construction magnitude is between $1,000,000.00 to $5,000,000.00.  The construction duration will be approximately 270 calendar days. 

The scope includes the rehabilitation of the southern jetty at Fishing Creek to a height of 6 ft MLLW using 1.5 to 3 ton capstone. The jetty rehabilitation will be segmented into three sections with a total length of approximately 1,000 ft.  An access channel will need to be dredged prior to construction due to no land access at the jetty. The access channel will be no more than 75 ft wide and 10 ft MLLW deep. Dredged material will be placed at an existing nearby upland placement site. Maintenance dredging will occur at the Fishing Creek federal navigation channel. Approximately 22,000 cubic yards of material will be hydraulically dredged and transported via pipeline to the same existing upland site as the access channel dredged material.  Earthwork berm repairs, including possibly raising of the existing berms, may be needed at the existing placement site.
